CNN senior political analyst Nia-Malika Henderson on Monday said Vice President Kamala Harris’ race and gender automatically make her an “underdog,” no matter how well she is polling in the presidential election.
Republican strategist Shermichael Singleton on Monday suggested Harris’ race and gender could be advantageous for her campaign because Americans will feel like they are making history when voting for her. However, Henderson on “Inside Politics With Dana Bash,” said the vice president “is running against hundreds of years of history,” guaranteeing her the status of “underdog” even if she surges by 4% in “every swing-state.” (RELATED: ‘Is That A Trick Question?’: Kamala Harris Rally-Goers Struggle To Explain Her Policies)
